Tryon Creek Cove trail study

In 2018, the City of Lake Oswego and Metro began working together on a trail study to determine how Foothills Park could connect to Tryon Creek State Natural Area, while also providing a connection to the Willamette River Water Trail at Tryon Creek Cove.

Metro assembled a Project Advisory Committee that included stakeholders from the City of Lake Oswego, Oregon Department of Transportation, Clackamas County Transportation Planning, The Street Trust, Birdshill Neighborhood Association, Tryon Creek Watershed Council, City of Portland, Bureau of Environmental Services, and Oregon Parks and Recreation Department.

Two open houses and two online surveys provided opportunities for the community to share their thoughts before the trail study was finished in the spring of 2019.

The study included hard and soft trails to accommodate cyclists and walkers and a bridge over Tryon Creek, filling a key gap in an existing regional trail network.

Whether your roots in the region run generations deep or you moved to Oregon last week, you have your own reasons for loving this place – and Metro wants to keep it that way. Help shape the future of the greater Portland region and discover tools, services and places that make life better today.
